Burnout isn’t the result of doing too much, too often, for too long.
Burnout happens when you lose hope. It happens when you’re doing too much, too often, and you’re doing it consistently without belief — the belief that your effort will be fruitful and that things work out for you. Burnout thrives at the place where you depart from abiding in Christ. You are most vulnerable when you leave His rest.
So, how do you interrupt a burnout cycle? How do you pull yourself back from the edge when you’ve literally got nothing left in the tank to even pump the brakes, much less reverse the direction? How do you find your fire again?
On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we’re digging into the anatomy of burnout from a Biblical perspective. I’m sharing 6 lessons we can learn from the prophet Elijah on how to get our fire back and burnout-proof our life for the long run. You ready? Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
